In the US, Biomass provides nearly 2,000MW (about the same amount as an average sized coal burning power station) of electricity, preventing 11 million tonnes of CO2 entering the atmosphere. Over in the UK, we are on our way to matching this with new biomass generators upwards of 350MW each, such as the plant at Port Talbot.

Biogeneration has a lot of potential to provide consistent, base load electricity at with high output, as Port Talbot biomass plant demonstrates. This potential is far from being realised in the UK.
